Hi everybody. I'm new to SplitCam, but have experience with other Cam Splitting softwares and Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2.

I'm trying to record the camera using FMLE and am running into a few problems that I'm hoping have an easy solution. When I install SplitCam, I see two devices that the driver creates: "SplitCam Video Driver" and "Broadcast SC Video Filter". When I open up the FMLE GUI both of these sources produce a preview. However, when I start recording to disk, and have chosen the SplitCam Video Driver" I get an out of memory error. I have PLENTY of memory, so I am thinking that the driver is not catching an error somewhere deeper in the code. If I change to the "Broadcast SC Video Filter" it works without crashing.

However, if I use the same settings but execute FMLE as a background process, I get the "Please wait while SplitCam starts up" message. Is there a practical reason why the software won't show the video feed if executed from a background process? And, is there a fix?

On a side note, when the software is installed on Server 2008 sometimes it locks the profile of the person running it. In this instance, since I'm logged in as the Administrator, weird things happen with IIS. The first thing I noticed was that my code in ASP that accessed HKEY_CURRENT_USER subkeys was getting "Access Denied". Then when I tried to log into the box it was loading the Temp profile instead of the Admin profile because the admin profile was locked. I thought the box was just corrupted, so I reinstalled Windows Server 2008 and started over. It was a LOT of work. Everything was ok and then I tried to install SplitCam and guess what! The profile started getting locked again. I uninstalled it and things went back to normal. Very very odd, I know.

Hi there,
I am using splitcam with FMLE to stream into a videochat web page.
The web page I use streams in HD, using FMLE with an specific configuration: stream to a Media Flash Server. This means the web page take the image from FMLE with an authentication.
Everything works ok meanwhile FMLE take the image from the webcam. However when I use splitcam as video source for FMLE and click on "Start", FMLE immediatly close itself.
Somebody have any comments about this?
It looks like splitcam generates some kind of unstability for FMLE when media flash server is used.
How can I fix this?
Help me please.

Thank you for your useful cooperation.
Now I can stream but only using SplitCam Video Filter as the device. If I use SplitCam Video Driver FMLE closes itself immediately.

I tried to attach a wmv video to you to see what happens with FMLE using splitCam Video Driver but the extension wmv is not allowed to send files. How can I send you this video? Hope this will help you to improve the software. Maybe you can figure it out without my video!

You are right, there is a bug in FMLE: FMLE closes with the error message - Out of memory. I try to inform Adobe about it. But I don't think those guys will do anything for that. The last year we opened a ticket about their flash bug and this ticket has been still opened.

Do you broadcast a stream to your own server?

Is this issue only for SplitCam Video Driver, or SplitCam Video Filter too?
